In your email please state:

Before you apply - please read:

STH's target group is children and adults with functional disabilities. To apply for a social or assistance dog the applicant must fall into this group. STH cannot assist people with disabilities or conditions not under this group.

Autism, ADHD and similar conditions
We receive a number of requests from families with children diagnosed with autism, ADHD and similiar conditions but STH's target group is confined to people with functional disabilities and does not include autism, ADHD and similar conditions. Neither is it within our scope to advice these familes on choice of race when purchasing or training a private dog.

PTSD and similar conditions
STH's target group is confined to people with physical functional disabilities which do not include PTSD and similar conditions and it is not within our scope to advice on choice of race when purchsing or training a private dog.

When we have received your application you will be contacted for further inquieries through a introductionary telephone interview or through email, after which we estimate if you fall within the group. If we decide you are eligible you may be invited for a personal interview with an STH instructor.

If the interview is satisfactory we will offer to put you on the waiting list for matching with a suitable dog. The waiting list is assessed regularly and and compared with dogs that have completed their training. When a suitable dog is found you will be invited for team training where you will be co-trained with the dog.

STH makes the social or assistance dog available free of charge against payment of DKK 2,500 covering a life time membership of STH plus normal living expenses of a dog (feed, yearly vet's examinations, vaccinations, de-worming, flea- or tick medicine)

Yours sincerly
Karen - Head of Administration
